Beaux-Freres 2007 The Beaux-Freres Vineyard Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir, Oregon

91 Points Wine Spectator: "Light and fragrant, with a silky core of raspberry and strawberry fruit, shaded with loamy earth and green olive notes. Drink now through 2013..."

The Beaux Freres vineyards are located on an 86-acre farm in Yamhill County's Willamette Valley. Majestic Douglas fir trees comprise just under 50 acres of the farm, with the homestead and barns occupying another six acres. The vineyard is situated on 30 acres of steep contiguous hillsides that enjoy an exceptional south/southwest exposure. The property, purchased in 1987 by Michael Etzel and the noted wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr., was named Beaux Freres (the brothers-in-law). A few years later Robert Roy, a Pinot Noir and red burgundy enthusiast from Quebec, became the third member of the Beaux Freres partnership.

A limited opportunity to try some of Oregon's highest rated Pinots!
